The Poetry Barn’s mission is to nurture poetry education, inspiration, and appreciation by sponsoring workshops, retreats, readings, and a comprehensive contemporary poetry library freely accessible to the public. The Poetry Barn was among the very first to offer online poetry workshops. Enjoy our state-of-the-art, ADA-compliant platform, supportive teaching artists, and generous peer-feedback. Nestled in the foothills of Catskill Park in Hudson Valley, the barn is surrounded by the protected lands of the Ashokan Reservoir, part of the New York City watershed.
